@birgitomo My niece (full term) did not survive her delivery due to medical negligence, the pain of losing a baby is made worse by what could have been done differently. It's been 19 years and I will never forget
@hemeoncABnorth I tell mine to put their hand up x amount of times a day, even if they don't know the answer. That putting their hand up is part of the game.
How is any of this “for the people”? A secret 95-year deal giving an Austrian company private use of Ontario Place’s waterfront. Moving the Science Centre with no credible business case. Given the Greenbelt scandal, the Ford government hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt.
Without an ounce of hyperbole, I am 100% convinced that no decent, sane parent can ever support the return of #AlexJones to any forum, including Twitter…or whatever this place is called now.
Alexander Emerick Jones spent years…..years torturing, defaming, and harassing the parents of kids that were murdered, execution-style, on 14 December, 2012, in a charming Connecticut community.
20 of the 26 victims were kids between 6-7 years old. Alex Jones insisted this never happened. The parents of these dead kids, after an unimaginable loss, had to endure harassment, threats, incessant prank calls for years…..because of this man.
By celebrating this man, you are celebrating hate of the worst, most inconceivable kind.
Sadism with fanfare. Sadism on an Olympic scale.
Any one of you who endorses this man’s place is public discourse is irredeemably disgusting, and evil-by-omission.
A plague on all of you!

Let’s be honest here…
Justin Trudeau entered politics October 8, 2008 with no intention to become Party Leader, had to be talked into running for leadership by several people (myself included) and was selected Party Leader April 14, 2013, Trudeau went on to win a majority government on October 19, 2015 and has continued to fight to defend Canada, the Charter, & democracy for 8 years by creating the most full time private sector jobs by a single PM ever in Canadian history and not only kept our economy strong and stable, but kept the economy from crashing as a result of a deadly pandemic!
In Contrast, Pierre Poilievre was already working for the Reform Party at the age of 16 (1995) selling memberships & telephone canvassing. At 17 years old, Poilievre was a delegate to the Reform Party 1996 national convention in Vancouver. His father, Donald, divorced his mother while he was in his teens and reportedly came out as Gay, explaining Poilievre’s hate for the 2SLGBTQ+ community!
Poilievre first won a seat in Parliament on June 28, 2004.
On October 5, 2010 Poilievre breached Parliamentary security and had an altercation with RCMP, showing his entitled behaviour believing himself more important then anyone else.
On July 4, 2017, Poilievre was forced into a compliance agreement with the Commissioner of Canada Elections for accepting illegal contributions (bribes).
Poilievre made two attempts to be CPC party leader, the first time he dropped out of the race without any reason being reported. Eventually cheating his way into the position of party leader on his second attempt on September 10, 2022.
In the summer of 2023 CSIS implicated Poilievre, and all previous CPC leaders going back to 2014, as being “Compromised” and “assets of China” for accepting donations from representatives of the Chinese government and making backroom deals (including a 30-year deal with China in 2014 that allows China to interfere with Canadian laws/policies and opened the door to China opening their own police stations on Canadian soil!
Ever since, Poilievre has made a mockery of Parliament and attacked Canadian democracy, even tried to destroy Canadian values by publicly and unapologetically supporting and endorsing extremists, white supremacists, & misogynists!

Pierre Poilievre preaches common sense and respect for taxpayers, yet he's dropping $41,303 per month on travel – all on top of his $23,250 monthly salary. Not to mention the taxpayer-funded 19-room mansion and personal chef. That's not even all the costs and more than many hard-working Canadians make in a year.
Let's cut costs, consider more work from home, and trim down on divisive rhetoric.
Your money deserves better. Vote wisely, folks. It's time to demand transparency on how elected officials plan to use your money. #PoliticalAccountability #TaxpayerMoneyTalks

While the Ford Conservatives underfund public health care by billions, they are now using your tax dollars to overpay private, for-profit clinics.
And guess who lobbies for this private for-profit company? Ford’s former Minister of Health.
Privatization will cost you more.
How it all started and how it’s going with former Health minister of Ontario, Christine Elliott now lobbying for a private surgical centre (scroll to the last photo).
It’s really painful to watch these people decimate public healthcare while health workers bear the brunt of it all. Not to mention patients whose lives are directly impacted. #onpoli
The 🇨🇦House of Commons Standing Committee on Health in Canada includes 12 members: 11 men & only 1 woman.
The Health Committee’s role is “to study & report on all matters relating to the mandate, management, & operation of Health Canada,” among other health responsibilities.
Currently, the Health Committee of 11 men and only 1 woman is conducting an important study on Women’s Health.
Interestingly, 2 of the Committee’s members were featured on the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada list and the Campaign Life Coalition list of MPs with an anti-choice / pro-life stance.
Interestingly, this Health Committee is responsible for the oversight of four agencies, including the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR), which has been under scrutiny for “Bias against funding Canada's female scientists.”

How does this happen here in Canada in 2023? Let's discuss. Drop your thoughts in the comments.
[Personal note: As someone who struggled with a serious & debilitating women's health condition, which was the fight of a lifetime to access care, treatment, & surgery, the above causes me great concern. Women's health issues are understudied & underfunded. In Canada, it would be reassuring to see more women at these decision-making tables.]
So let me get this straight while more than 17,800,000 hectares burned across 🇨🇦 in 2023 (most devastating wildfire season on record). 114 Conservative MPs including Pierre Poilievre proudly voted against standing in solidarity / support for all those affected by climate change.
